“You’re still my idol.”

Being a public servant, this is a serious job, not like a boxer, you’re entertaining people.

I wanted to be a world champion.

I have to give people time to take a picture, and sign autographs. I have to be generous to people. It is in my heart. Without that, I would not be Manny Pacquiao.

I don’t even remember if he hurt me with even one punch. Amazing what the result is.

I say to Floyd Mayweather Jr., don’t be a coward and face me in the ring, mano a mano, and shut your big, pretty mouth so we can show the world who is the true king of the ring.

You train hard and I’ll train hard, and may the best man win, and good luck to both of us.

Boxing is not for killing each other.

I was raised Catholic and now I am a Christian and follow of the Lord Jesus Christ. I made the change because the Holy Spirit revealed a truth to me.

Even the president is watching the fight.

I always ask myself, what do I need to prove? I won the fight.

Faith is my motivation to win.

Only in death will I relinquish my belts.

I never broke up with my girlfriends, they broke up with me.

I will do my best, and I promise I will give this guy a fight, and I have to win this fight.

I want to prove that he’s wrong – he’s wearing a t-shirt that says he won the last two fights.

The most important thing as a leader is your relationship with God.

I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

The best thing Jay-Z ever taught me was patience.

I was on Ghetto Idol. We didn’t have any of the stuff they have now.

I wish I was Sienna Miller. When I talk to her, I hope a bit of her party personality will rub off on me, but it never does.

I still watch ‘Idol,’ and it’s still the No. 1 show, so obviously I’m not the only one who loves to sit at home and be entertained.

The world needs role models, instead of critics.

In my view, Zhang Lanxin is one of our best female martial artists, and I can’t rate her highly enough.

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.
